Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces baby beets, without the tops, peeled
12 ounces baby carrots, without the tops, peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1/4 cup
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 cup walnut oil
6 ounces mixed baby lettuces or spring mix, washed and spun dry
1/2 cup lightly toasted walnut pieces
3 ounces mild soft goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a small ovenproof casserole or roasting pan place the beets with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Toss to coat well and push to 1 side of the pan. In a piece of foil, place the carrots with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Toss to coat well. Wrap the foil tightly and place alongside the beets in the roasting pan. Transfer to the oven and bake, stirring occasionally, until the beets are crisp-tender, about 45 minutes. The carrots may be done earlier, so check occasionally. Remove the beets from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Toss with the tarragon and chives and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the sherry vinegar, honey, remaining salt, and remaining pepper and whisk to combine. While continuing to whisk, add the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil and the walnut oil in a thin, steady stream, until smooth and emulsified.
  • Place the lettuce in a salad bowl and add the beets, walnuts, and crumbled goat cheese. Drizzle some of the vinaigrette over the salad, to taste, and toss to thoroughly combine. Serve immediately, drizzled with additional vinaigrette, if desired.

BABY MOSES IN A BASKET



Baby Moses in a Basket image

I was tasked with making desserts for seder and happened upon this recipe. DS was quite excited about it so we tried it. These are to represent baby Moses as he was put into a basket and floated down the Nile River. This recipe was originally found in the Jewish Festival Cooking cookbook. Original recipe says for marzipan the amount of ground almonds is a slightly rounded cup but RZ will not take that. In addition, it says a few drops rose water or almond extract but RZ translates that to 3 drops.

Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. Choose crisp celery, juicy grape tomatoes, sweet red onion, and flavorful parsley for the salad.
  • Shredding and Slicing: For even distribution and a pleasing presentation, shred the chicken and vegetables into thin, uniform pieces. This will ensure that each bite has a balance of flavors and textures.
  • Seasoning: Don't skimp on the seasoning! A well-seasoned salad is a flavorful salad. Use a combination of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients.
  • Dressing: The dressing is what brings the salad together and elevates its taste. For a tangy and creamy dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, honey, and vinegar. Adjust the proportions to achieve your desired consistency and flavor balance.
  • Chilling: Chilling the salad before serving allows the flavors to meld and develop. This also makes the salad more refreshing, especially on a warm day.
